*edit: it has come to my attention that in British English (which I use) there is a distinction between “turtle” and “tortoise”, while in American English all these guys fall under the “turtle” category. Oh well. The more you know!

Look but do not touch!

Discover Ernst Haeckel, the 19th-century artist-biologist who found beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures. This collection features 450 prints from his most important publications, including the majestic Kunstformen der Natur and his extensive catalogues of marine life. As biodiversity is ever-more threatened, these exquisite images are a scientific, artistic, and environmental masterwork. 

The Spanish Dancer Nudibranch (Hexabranchus sanguineus), is famous for being one of the largest nudibranchs out there- while typically reaching 20 - 30cm, it has been seen growing to be 60cm long! But although this nudibranch is relatively heavy compared to its smaller cousins, it doesn’t let that way it down, as when alerted this nudibranch can swim by contracting and waving its mantle. In fact, this movement it where it gets its name, as the undulations are reminiscent of a spanish dancer moving her dress. Its rhinophores are retractable, and only turns its signature bright red colour as it matures. It feeds on sponges on coral reefs 1 - 50m deep, from the Eastern coast of Africa to Hawaii and Japan!

This is Ichabod, and he’s obsessed with blackworms.
